The time has come for me to weld on the manual transmission mount bracket since my 4th gen was originally automatic. Here is a thread with pics/info about the difference's,
https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1

My plans.
-Weld on manual bracket
-Relocate battery
-Reloom engine harness
-Ac/ps are leaving
-Innovative mounts
-Front seals/hondata intake mani gasket/Oil cooler o-ring/
-Repaint Valve cover
-Polish my primaries-wrap the downpipe/ re-seal catback
-Catch can
-Move coil
-Bay will be painted Brittany Blue Green Metallic( starting from the outside in )
-?
That's it for the bay for now, i'm cleaning up a lot of small things that have needed done.
Bye bye milano red bay

Whoa! Very nice!! I am planning to do the same thing...but keeping mine red. I'm going for pretty much a complete rebuild. Fully built H22, full paint job, new front bumper, new black trim, seals, etc. It'll take a while, but I will do it.

Can't wait to see more progress pics. The Blue-Green is such an awesome color. That's what I wanted. Couldn't pass up my car for the price though.

Tranny mount pics



AC is out!

I needed these very much

The bay as of now



Tommorow after work I need to get some bolt's to put my engine on the engine stand so I can start all that stuff. I need to study up of mgags7's manual rack conversion thread because ps is coming out next. I've got alot of work to do but i love coming home from work and working on this. I cant really say when it will be done since i work full time but im not trying to pass anything up while it's all apart. Thanks guys

Got the engine on the stand finally after buying some bolts and an engine leveler.

Looks like my head-gasket is going out. Just leaking oil around all the corners.
-Oil and coolant are not mixed.
-Engine has never smoked.
-Compression tested good(220 av) I have never leakdown tested it though.
Pic's

Right above the ks


The worst spot it's leaking


Are these common spots for hg leaks? Look's like a definate leaky hg to me, please someone confirm. Thanks in advance

damn son thats a nasty lookin IM, that pcv is pulling a lot of oil in.

If the valve was bad, aka "stuck", you wouldn't have anything in there.

catch can ftw
